DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENT

Please refer to FIG. 1 to FIG. 3, which illustrate the washing bag in one embodiment of the present invention. FIG. 1 illustrates a schematic drawing of the washing bag in one embodiment of the present invention. FIG. 2 illustrates a schematic drawing of the opened washing bag in one embodiment of the present invention. FIG. 3 illustrates a section drawing along the section line AA shown in FIG. 1 of the washing bag containing an object in one embodiment of the present invention.

In one embodiment of the present invention, as shown in FIG. 1 to FIG. 3, the washing bag 1 is used for allowing the user to wash an object 200 easily and conveniently. The object 200 can be an article of clothing, a pair of shoes, a plush toy or another object which needs to be washed and cleaned. The washing bag 1 includes a bag body 10, an opening unit 20, a plurality of bristles 30, a partitioning sheet 40 and two hanging units 50.

In one embodiment of the present invention, the bag body 10 is a net bag. The bag body 10 includes an inner surface 11, an outer surface 12, a containing space 13, an opening part 14 and a bottom 15. The inner surface 11 and the outer surface 12 are two opposite surfaces of the bag body 10. The containing space 13 is used for containing the object 200. The opening part 14 is used for allowing the object 200 to enter the containing space 13 from the outside. The bottom 15 is the end which is opposite to the opening part 14. The size of the cross-sectional area of the bag body 10 generally decreases from the opening part 14 to the bottom 15, which means that the cross-sectional area at the opening part 14 is the largest, and that the size of the cross-sectional area size decreases as the distance to the bottom 15 decreases; therefore, the overall shape of the bag body 10 is a flat triangular column. However, the shape of the bag body 10 is not limited to the abovementioned description, and the shape can be changed according to user requirements.

In one embodiment of the present invention, the opening unit 20 is a zipper, which is located at the opening part 14. The opening unit 20 is used for allowing the opening part 14 to be opened or closed. However, the type of the opening unit 20 is not limited to the zipper; it can also be buttons, a strap, or other units with the opening function.

In one embodiment of the present invention, the plurality of bristles 30 are made of plastic hair or animal hair. The plurality of bristles 30 are used for brushing and washing the object 200 in the containing space 13. The plurality of bristles 30 are located on the inner surface 11 and also on the partitioning sheet 40. The plurality of bristles 30 occupy at least 60% of the area of the inner surface 11. A bristle density of the plurality of the bristles 30 is at least 30 per square centimeter. A length of each of the bristles 30 is between 0.1 centimeter and 1 centimeter. However, the structural design of the bristles 30 is not limited to the abovementioned description; the structural design can be changed according to user requirements. For example, the plurality of bristles 30 can be designed to occupy at least 80% of the area of the inner surface 11, or the bristle density of the plurality of bristles 30 can be at least 100 per square centimeter.

In one embodiment of the present invention, the partitioning sheet 40 is a net. The partitioning sheet 40 is connected to the inner surface 11 and divides the containing space 13 into a plurality of containing areas 131 for allowing the user to put several articles which need to be washed into different containing areas 131. The plurality of bristles 30 are located on two opposite sides of the partitioning sheet 40 such that the bristles 30 on the partitioning sheet 40 can touch the articles in different containing areas 131.

In one embodiment of the present invention, the two hanging units 50 are hanging rings, which are connected to the outer surface 12. The hanging units 50 are used for allowing the user to hang the washing bag 1 conveniently so that the hanging washing bag 1 can be stored or dried quickly. However, the amount of the hanging units 50 is not limited to two; the amount can be changed according to user requirements.

When the user wants to use the washing bag 1 of the present invention to wash the object 200 (such as a pair of shoes), the user can open the zipper of the opening unit 20 to expose the two containing areas 131 of the containing space 13 to the outside. Then the user can put one of the pair of shoes of the object 200 into one of the containing areas 131, put the other one of the pair of shoes of the object 200 into the other one of the containing areas 131, and close the zipper of the opening unit 20 to close the opening part 14. Since the plurality of bristles 30 are located on the inner surface 11 and the two sides of the partitioning sheet 40, and the overall shape of the bag body 10 is a flat triangular column resembling the shape of a shoe, the plurality of bristles 30 can touch the object 200 in the two containing areas 131 of the containing space 13. Finally, the user can put the washing bag 1 containing the object 200 into a laundry machine and operate the laundry machine to wash and clean the washing bag 1 containing the object 200. Because the bag body 10 is a net bag, the soap and water in the laundry machine can pass through the net bag and soak the object 200 in the washing bag 1. In addition, because the plurality of bristles 30 touch the object 200 in the two containing areas 131 of the containing space 13, when the laundry machine stirs the washing bag 1, the plurality of bristles 30 will be caused by the stirring force of the laundry machine to brush and wash the object 200 repeatedly.

Therefore, the user does not need to spend any effort to clean the object 200.

Because of the structure of the washing bag 1 of the present invention, the user does not need to use a traditional brush and expend great effort to wash the object; the user can use the washing bag 1 in conjunction with a laundry machine to clean the object easily and conveniently.
